[PATCH] ethtool: potential NULL dereference in strset_prepare_data()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Smatch complains that the NULL checking isn't done consistently:

    net/ethtool/strset.c:253 strset_prepare_data()
    error: we previously assumed 'dev' could be null (see line 233)

It looks like there is a missing return on this path.

Fixes: 71921690f974 ("ethtool: provide string sets with STRSET_GET request")
